Sightings "in the wild"
Re: Linking to a particular post
I've just noticed that below the title of a post is a number after a hash symbol, this post's is #1800 so a URL to link to this post would end in &start=1799
The URL to the first post in the thread ends in zero even though it says #1, so it's URL would end in &start=0 but that isn't necessary to create a link to it.
Here is the link to share this post
viewtopic.php?t=10940&start=1799

Here's the cheat for that problem. Find the post you wish to link to, and on the post's title, right-click and do a "copy URL". That can then be pasted into another post bracketed by "url" descriptors.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Am in Karlstad in Sweden with my son. On Saturday, I saw a tall man with beard and moustache in a black skirt (one with ruffles in the front - semi apron style front design). He was with a friend and the look was coordinated and tasteful. I didn't get a picture as I don't like to take pix of complete strangers.

Karlstad is only an hour from me, and it wasn't me, hopefully its a local and I'll spot him too one day, odds are with the season that its a tourist though.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Hi all, It was a really hot day yesterday in Wetherby, Yorkshire, UK. I saw a man in a shortish - above the knee - sun dress. He was just walking through the town with all the other shoppers. He was completely bald and sporting a fine pair of knobbly knees. The dress had thin shoulder straps. It certainly looked alright to me and no-one else seemed to take any notice as if it was quite usual. Unfortunately I was trousered: Shame.
Best wishes
Derek.

I may have seen two last weekend, one looked like one of the homeless, but he was definately wearing a red skirt, the other was outside the grocery, which I didn't get as close a look at, but as I drove by It looked rather unbifurated. Three if you count a femboy at the mall.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Yesterday afternoon in one of our local shopping centres I was getting something to eat for my little one when a family walked past, and only out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the dad was wearing what looked like a black wrap skirt, similar to a lavalava, they were gone before I managed to see just what it was. I may have seen this family there before, but it was a while ago.
He wasn't attracting any attention from anyone that I noticed. I have seen a couple of younger guys wearing skirts around the place, so not the first.

I was shopping in my local Tesco supermarket today wearing my kilt and a black tank top with waistcoat. Whilst there, I seen a tall thin guy in his 20s wearing a long summer dress and sand shoes and multi coloured socks that were rolled down to his ankle.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
I was in Wells market place this morning. The wife had just bumped into a mutual friend and they were having a good natter. A guy crossed the road and complimented me on my skirt (knee length A-line denim). I looked down and behold, he too was wearing denim skirt, so I complimented him back. That made my morning ... and the wife didn't even notice him

Man waiting to cross street. Had a beard. Green and blue skirt. Wore a back pack.
Re: Sightings "in the wild"
I went to my local Home and Farm store this morning. At the checkout was a man wearing a camouflage skirt. I live in a small rural town in Kansas, so this surprised me. I ended up checking out before him and waited outside for him to come out. We had a brief conversation about the comfort of wearing skirts. Unfortunately I was wearing shorts since I can't wear skirts locally (to much of a chance of being seen by family members). My wife has made it very clear that I'm never to be seen in a skirt by friends or family (or her for that matter).
Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Nice that you saw and spoke with him. I wonder if he had any clues, assurances for you; & if you shared the encounter with your family? It is bad enough to be in a prison of social regimentation from perceptions of what the world might think; even worse when it is your own loved ones trying to put the lid on your coffin. I hope the encounter may have given you some edge, hope, and spunk toward self-actualization.papato15 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 9:25 pm I went to my local Home and Farm store this morning.
